I'm also trying to figure out, maybe someone could enlighten me, as to why AddHateToNPC() is being called at the char select screen and even after the client has disconnected up until zone sleep?

Because its in the NPC Process(). Every NPC scans for foes or friends evertime. The procedures for friends are not in yet, so don't say that would be bad
.
BTW this function does not send any packet to the client so it does not cause any lag cleintside. But of course it uses some CPU time and bandwith to your SQL Server (which should be local).
If you want this function to use less CPU Time set scanarea_timer up, its currently 500 ms (that means every NPCs will run this procedure every 500 ms)
im going to update this procedure soon though to reduce the sql querys
